How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset near Fisher's Pond is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

About our film set catering in Fisher's Pond
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. We serve a vegan option, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and ad shoots.
Near Fisher's Pond, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
